Definitions

  • This invention relates generally to apparatus for applying and releasing a vehicular parking brake.
  • such apparatus includes a control with a foot-operated lever or pedal which, when depressed, acts to turn a toothed sector and apply tension to a cable in order to set the parking brake of the vehicle.
  • a pawl engages and holds the sector to prevent the return springs of the brake and the brake clamp load from effecting release of the brake.
  • a self-adjusting control includes an initially tightly wound torsion spring which urges the sector in a brake-applying direction.
  • the sector is locked against being turned by the spring.
  • the sector is unlocked and is automatically rotated by the tightly wound spring until the slack in the cable is taken up and the cable is tensioned sufficiently to preload the return of springs of the parking brake.
  • the cable and the return springs are placed under a specified preload by the torsion spring once the cable has been hooked up and the sector has been released to the action of the torsion spring.
  • a push-to-release parking brake control is one which effects release of the parking brake when the foot-operated pedal is again depressed after the brake has been set. Depression of the pedal releases the pawl from the sector and allows release of the brake.
  • Self-adjusting, push-to-release parking brake controls are known.
  • One such control requires two sectors.
  • One of the sectors coacts with a pawl to perform the holding and push-to-release functions while the other sector is required to enable the control to self-adjust.
  • the general aim of the present invention is to provide a new and improved self-adjusting, push-to-release brake control that is lighter in weight and lower in cost than prior controls of the same general type.
  • the invention provides an apparatus for applying and releasing a vehicular parking brake in accordance with claim 1.
  • the self-adjusting, push-to-release parking brake control according to the present invention produces a mechanical advantage of variable ratio to reduce the manual effort required to fully set the brake.
  • a parking brake control in which the sector which holds the parking brake set is free to rotate relative to the pedal and effect self-adjustment once the control has been installed and the sector has been released to the action of the torsion spring.
  • a control in which the pawl is uniquely controlled to effect push-to-release, and a control in which the cam for applying force to the cable is carried by the pedal and is of variable ratio.
  • the invention has been shown in the drawings as incorporated in control apparatus 10 for setting and releasing the parking brake of an automobile or other vehicle.
  • the parking brake itself has been shown schematically by the box 11 in FIG. 1 and includes rear braking elements which are forced into engagement with drums or rotors when force is applied to the braking elements via a flexible cable 13 which is connected to the control 10.
  • Return springs are associated with the braking elements and release the latter when the tensile force applied to the cable by the control is relieved.
  • the parking brake control 10 includes a main supporting bracket 15 which is adapted to be attached by fasteners 16 (FIG. 2) to a fixed frame member 17 beneath the instrument panel of the vehicle.
  • a cover 18 is attached to and spaced laterally from the bracket and coacts with the latter to define a housing for several components of the control.
  • an actuating lever 20 which herein is in the form of a foot-operated pedal having an elongated arm 21 with a rubber pad 22 on the lower end thereof.
  • a rivet 23 (FIG.3) extends through the bracket 15, a generally circular mounting plate 24 of the pedal 20, and the cover 18 and supports the pedal to turn about a laterally extending horizontal axis.
  • a contractile spring 25 Connected between the bracket and the plate 24 of the pedal is a contractile spring 25 which urges the pedal to turn counterclockwise about the rivet 23 and to a brake-released position shown in solid lines of Fig.1.
  • the pedal is in its released position, the upper side of the arm 21 engages and is stopped by a rubber bumper 26 on the cover 18.
  • Clockwise turning of the pedal 20 to a brake-applied position shown in phantom lines in FIG. 1 effects clockwise turning of a toothed sector 30 which pulls on the cable 13 to apply the brake 11.
  • the sector 30 is supported to turn about the rivet 23 and is in the form of a flat plate having an edge concentric with the rivet and formed with angularly spaced ratched teeth 31 (FIGS. 5 and 6).
  • a rod-like connector 32 on the end of the cable 13 fits within a forked bracket 34 (FIG.5) which is secured rigidly to and projects from one side of the sector, the cable thus being fastened to the sector.
  • Drive means connect the pedal 20 to the sector 30 and effect clockwise turning of the sector to a brake-applied position when the pedal is depressed clockwise to its brake-applied position.
  • the drive means includes a toothed pawl 35 (FIG.6) which is supported to turn about a rivet 36 on the arm 21 of the pedal.
  • the pawl is moved into engagement with one of the teeth 31 of the sector 30 and acts to drive the sector clockwise during further clockwise turning of the pedal.
  • the brake 11 is released, the sector and the pedal turn counterclockwise in unison and the pawl remains in engagement with the sector until the pedal reaches its brake-released position. At that time, the pawl is kicked out of engagement with the sector.
  • a kicker plate 38 (FIG. 6) which also is supported to turn about the rivet 36.
  • a torsion spring 39 is connected between the pedal 20 and a tab 40 on the kicker plate and urges the pawl and the kicker plate clockwise thereby tending to place the pawl in engagement with the sector.
  • a second tab 41 on the kicker plate engages a lug 42 on the bracket 15 and forces the kicker plate and the pawl counterclockwise about the rivet 36 to hold the pawl out of engagement with the sector.
  • the tab 41 moves away from the lug 42 to allow the spring 39 to pivot the pawl clockwise into driving engagement with the sector and thereby cause the sector to turn clockwise with the pedal.
  • the sector rotates past the pawl as the sector is turned counterclockwise by the brake return springs acting through the cable 13 and as the pedal is turned counterclockwise by the contractile spring 25.
  • the tab 41 of the kicker plate 38 engages the lug 42 of the braket 15 to pivot the pawl out of engagement with the sector and release the sector from the pedal.
  • the sector 30 As the sector 30 is turned clockwise toward its brake-applied position, it ratchets past a second pawl 45 (FIG. 5) which engages the sector and holds the sector in its brake-applied position once clockwise turning of the sector is stopped and the brake 11 is set.
  • the holding pawl 45 is released automatically from the sector 30 when the pedal 20 is next pushed toward its brake-applied position and thus the control 10 is of the so-called push-to-release type.
  • the holding pawl 45 of the push-to-release control 10 is located out of engagement with the sector 30 when the sector and the pedal are in their brake-released positions.
  • the push-to-release control 10 with its single toothed sector 30 is also self-adjusting following installation of the control in the vehicle in that, once the cable 13 has been hooked to the sector, the sector automatically moves to a position to take up slack in the cable and place the cable and the return springs of the brake 11 under a specified preload.
  • a heavy spirally wound torsion spring 47 (FIGS. 4and 5) acts against the sector and tends to urge the sector to turn clockwise toward its brake-applied position.
  • the sector is locked against being turned by the spring. Once the cable 13 has been hooked to the sector, the latter is released to the action of the torsion spring 47 and is turned clockwise until the forces exerted on the cable by the torsion spring and the return springs of the brake 11 are equalized.
  • the spring 47 is made of flat spring steel wound into a spiral and sandwiched between the sector 30 and the generally circular plate 24 which forms part of the pedal 20.
  • One bent end 48 (FIG.6) of the spring is hooked around a tab 49 which is struck form the plate 24.
  • the other bent end 50 of the spring is hooked around a pin 51 extending laterally fom the bracket 34 on the sector.
  • the spring is wound in a direction urging the sector toward its brake-applied position and urging the pedal toward its brake-released position.
  • the spring 47 Once the spring 47 has been wound and attached to the pedal 20 and the sector 30, it is temporarily prevented from rotating the sector toward its brake applied position.
  • a pin 53 (FIG. 4) with a generally C-shaped head 54 is inserted through holes in the cover 18, the sector 30 and the bracket 15. As a result, the pin prevents the sector from rotating under the force of the spring 47.
  • the torsion spring 47 acts together with the contractile spring 25 to urge the pedal 20 to its brake-released position with the arm 21 of the pedal in engagement with the bumper 26.
  • the pin 53 remains in place during shipping and installation of the control 10. After attachment of the bracket 15 to the frame 17 and after connection of the cable 13 to the sector 30, the pin is removed as shown in phantom lines in FIG. 4. This releases the sector for turning to its brake-applied position under the force of the spring 47. Since both the driving pawl 35 and holding pawl 45 are out of engagement with the sector when the pedal 20 is in its released position, such pawls do not interfere with turning of the sector by the spring 47 and relative to the pedal.
  • the spring drives the sector until all slack in the cable 13 has been taken up and until further turning of the sector is stopped by the return springs of the brake 11. The cable and the return springs thus are preloaded to an extent determinated by the preload placed in the spring 47.
  • the released pawls 35 and 45 permit the sector to be turned counterclockwise to a position allowing the pin 53 to be re-inserted so as to hold the sector during such servicing.
  • the holding pawl 45 includes a single tooth 55 and is formed with an elongated slot 56 which enables the pawl to slide and pivot on a rivet 57 secured to the bracket 15 and the cover 18. Also supported by the rivet 57 and disposed in side-by-side relation with the pawl 45 is a toggle lever 60 which is formed with an elongated slot 61 for receiving the rivet.
  • the slot 61 is curved about the axis of a pin 63 (FIG. 6) extending laterally from the bracket 15 and pivotally supporting the toggle lever.
  • Connected to the lever 60 is one leg of a toggle spring 65 whose other leg is connected to the holding pawl 45.
  • the spring 65 urges the lever clockwise about the pivot 63 and, at the same time, urges the pawl 45 counterclockwise about the rivet 57 and tends to move the pawl tooth 55 out of engagement with the sector 30.
  • the spring 65 toggles overcenter and urges the pawl 45 clockwise about the rivet 57 so as to force the pawl tooth 55 toward the sector.
  • the spring 65 toggles whenever the point of connection of the spring to the lever 60 passes across a line extending between the rivet 57 and the point of connection of the spring to the pawl 45.
  • a leg 67 Formed integrally with and extending downwardly and laterally from the lever 60 is a leg 67 which coacts with a toggle reset lever 70 (FIGS. 5 and 6) to cause the lever 60 to swing counterclockwise about the pivot 63 from the position shown in FIG. 6 to the position shown in FIG. 7 when the pedal 20 is first depressed toward its brake-applied position.
  • the toggle reset lever 70 is pivotally supported by a rivet 71 (FIG. 6) on the cover 18, the rivet being received in a slightly elongated slot in the reset lever so as to enable limited sliding movement of the reset lever in a direction extending transversely of the rivet.
  • a torsion spring 72 on the rivet engages the reset lever and a tab 73 on the cover 18 and urges the reset lever counterclockwise about the rivet and into engagement with another tab 74 on the cover.
  • the components of the control are positioned as shown in FIG. 6 when the parking brake 11 is released and the pedal 20 and the sector 30 are in their brake-released positions.
  • the reset lever 70 is held against counterclockwise turning by the tab 74.
  • the right end of the slot 61 in the toggle lever 60 engages the rivet 57 to hold that lever against being pivoted clockwise by the toggle spring 65.
  • the toggle spring urges the holding pawl 45 counterclockwise about the rivet 57 and against a stop tab 75 on the cover 18 and keeps the pawl tooth 55 out of engagement with the sector 30, the pawl being positioned such that the left end of the slot 56 bears against the shank of the rivet.
  • the toggle spring 65 holds the pawl out of engagement with the sector when the pedal 20 is in its released position, and because the driving pawl 35 also is released from the sector, the sector is, as discussed previously, free to turn relative to the pedal when the pin 53 is pulled and releases the sector to the action of the spiral spring 47.
  • the pawl tooth 55 engages the sector 30 and ratchets across the teeth 31 of the sector as the latter is driven to its brake-applied position by the pedal 20.
  • the pawl tooth 55 engages one of the ratchet teeth 31.
  • the tension in the cable 13 tends to turn the sector counterclockwise and, as a result of such turning, the sector tooth 31 acts against the pawl tooth 55 to slide the pawl 45 from right-to-left along the rivet 57 until the right end of the slot 56 in the pawl bottoms against the rivet.
  • the pawl and the sector thus are stopped with the pawl serving to hold the sector in its brake-applied position.
  • the pawl 45 As the pawl 45 is slid from right-to-left on the rivet 57 by the sector tooth 31, the ear 80 on the pawl engages the tab 79 on the lever 60 and causes the lever to rock clockwise about the pin 63. As a result, the spring 65 toggles in the reverse direction as shown in FIG. 9 and tends to urge the pawl 45 away from the sector 30.
  • the pawl tooth 55 remains in holding engagement with the sector tooth 31 by virtue of the counterclockwise force exerted on the pawl tooth by the sector tooth. As a result, the sector is held in its brake-applied position even though the toggle spring 65 is urging the pawl counterclockwise towards its released position.
  • a variable ratio cam 90 (FIG.6) is utilized to create a varying mechanical advantage and reduce the manual force required to be exerted on the pedal as the brake 11 is fully applied.
  • the cam is a curved member which engages the cable 13 adjacent the connector 32 and which is integral with a mounting plate 91 secured rigidly to the pedal.
  • the cable wraps around the cam to provide a mechanical advantage amplifying the force applied to the pedal and lowering the manual effort required to set the brake 11.
  • the tension in the cable acts against the cam to hold the pedal in its brake-applied position until the sector 30 is released to relieve the tension.
  • the cam 90 Since the cam 90 is carried by the pedal, it may be of variable ratio so as to produce a mechanical advantage which becomes progressively greater as the pedal is pushed progressively further toward its brake-applied position.
  • the radial distance between the active surface of the cam and the pivot axis 23 of the pedal is relatively large at the point where the cable 13 first engages the cam when the brake is released and becomes progressively smaller as the cam surface proceeds in a counterclockwise direction. Accordingly, when the pedal is first depressed and the clamp load of the brake 11 is relatively small, the mechanical advantage is relatively small, and movement of the pedal through a given distance produces substantial movement of the cable.
  • the cam 90 causes the cable travel to decrease for a given movement of the pedal and thus causes the mechanical advantage to increase. In this way, the pedal may be moved through its entire range with increasing mechanical advantage rather than requiring significantly greater effort as the brake becomes more fully set and the clamp load increases.
  • the present invention brings to the art a new and improved parking brake control 10 having but a single sector 30 but having both self-adjust and push-to-release capability.
  • the cam 90 being carried by the pedal 20 rather than by the sector, a progressively increasing mechanical advantage is obtained by the self-adjusting control as the brake 11 is progressively applied.
